What They Fund
Types of requests WACF has traditionally considered, this year, the Foundation will also consider Covid- 19 crisis response activities as well as requests for general operating support to help sustain services important to Waupaca residents. (Note: to request general operating support, applicants must have endured unexpected financial losses or disruption to typical revenue streams and/or increased demand for services as a result of the Covid-19 crisis and should explain these circumstances in their application.)

- Enhancement or strengthening of existing activities: Projects to enhance, expand or strengthen the range, quantity and/or quality of an organization’s programs and services.
- Small capital investments: Items that are directly related to program delivery or service to clients, such as a refrigerator for a food pantry or equipment to comply with ADA requirements.
- Recurring events: Exhibits, presentations, performances or non-fundraising events that occur on a periodic basis. Grants will only support the same program or project for a maximum of three years.
